| Baby Carriage | comment |
Mama's out for a stroll with little junior in his Baby Carriage. Too bad she's wandered into a Chase Scene! If there is a car chase, there will be a woman pushing a baby carriage (aka, pram or bassinet). In Real Life, you will never see as many women pushing baby carriages down the street as you will during a car chase in a movie or TV show. Obviously, this device works because the idea that a baby might be harmed as the result of a chase adds instant Drama. Of course, don't expect the drama to last long. It's usually just a temporary distraction, Improbable Infant Survival assures that both drivers will be able to swerve around said Baby Carriage. On very rare occasions, this trope is Played for Drama to indicate that a child was actually endangered or killed; Empathy Doll Shot is generally used instead. In older comedies, nothing much was thought of having the baby actually get hit, even by the protagonists. Sometimes subverted by having the protagonist horrified that he can't avoid hitting the carriage — only to find, as the carriage tumbles over the hood of the car, that it didn't contain a baby at all, just groceries or something equally innocuous (think Speed: "They were only cans!") See also Fruit Cart and Chase-Scene Obstacle Course for other stock obstacles that will get in the way of a Chase Scene, no matter how improbable their location may be. For detailed homages to one of the most famous dramatic film uses of the trope, see Odessa Steps. |

| Baby Carriage / int_2231e5b7 | comment |
This is Parodied by the Leverage crew in order to bring a reclusive mark out of hiding and into the spotlight. It doesn't work; the mark ignores Sophie crying for her "runaway baby carriage" and once the opportunity passes Sophie gets distracted by a fashion store display. | |

| Baby Carriage / int_e2d7b14c | comment |
Spoofed in a Halloween episode. Homer's ghost has twenty-four hours to do a good deed to get into Heaven. Just when he's almost out of time, he sees a carriage going down a flight of stairs and picks up the baby just because he's annoyed with its wails, inadvertently saving it as the carriage is hit by a car and explodes in flames. The baby's mother believes it to be a miracle. Too bad for Homer that St. Peter wasn't looking. | |

Chasing down an out-of-control baby carriage to keep the baby from being hurt is also how Kimberly, Tommy, and Billy met Aisha, Rocky, and Adam in Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. Linkara points out how this sequence went on far longer the necessary. |
